⚡ EVZero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Production Requirements
Technologies: EVs, Hydrogen Fuel Cells, PHEVs

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) certifies new passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles as ZEVs if the vehicles produce zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant (or precursor pollutant) under all possible operational modes and conditions. Manufacturers with annual sales between 4,501 and 60,000 vehicles may comply with the ZEV requirements through multiple alternative compliance options that include producing low emission vehicles and obtaining ZEV credits. Manufacturers with annual sales of 4,500 vehicles or less are not subject to this regulation. CARB's emissions control program for model year (MY) 2017 through 2025 combines the control of smog, soot, and greenhouse gases (GHGs) and requirements for ZEVs into a single package of standards called Advanced Clean Cars (ACC). In December 2012, CARB finalized new regulatory requirements that allow vehicle manufacturer compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) GHG requirements for MY 2017 through 2025 to serve as compliance with California's adopted GHG emissions requirements for those same model years. The accounting procedures for MY 2018 through 2025 are based on a credit system as shown in the table below. The minimum ZEV requirement for each manufacturer includes the percentage of passenger cars and light-duty trucks produced by the manufacturer and delivered for sale in California. The regulation also includes opportunities for compliance with transitional ZEVs, which must demonstrate certain exhaust emissions standards, evaporative emissions standards, on-board diagnostic requirements, and extended warranties. MY ZEV Requirement 2021 12% 2022 14.5% 2023 17% 2024 19.5% 2025 and later 22% In November 2022, CARB finalized another rule in addition to the ACC emissions control program for MY 2026 through 2035 called Advanced Clean Cars II (ACCII), requiring an increasing percentage of ZEVs in new vehicle sales beyond MY 2025. ZEV sales requirements under ACCII are shown in the table below. MY ZEV Requirement 2026 35% 2027 43% 2028 51% 2029 59% 2030 68% 20231 76% 2032 82% 2033 88% 2034 94% 2035 and later 100% For more information, see the CARB [ZEV Program](https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/zero-emission-vehicle-program) website.

The California Department of General Services (DGS) is responsible for maintaining specifications and standards for passenger cars and light-duty trucks that are purchased or leased for state office, agency, and department use. These specifications include minimum vehicle emissions standards and encourage the purchase or lease of fuel-efficient and alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Specifically, DGS must reduce or displace the fleet's consumption of petroleum products by 20% by January 1, 2020, as compared to the 2003 consumption level. DGS must also ensure that at least 50% of the light-duty vehicles purchased by the state are zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). Further, at least 15% of DGS' fleet of new vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,000 pounds or more must be ZEVs by 2025, and at least 30% by 2030. On an annual basis, DGS must compile information including, but not limited to, the number of AFVs and hybrid electric vehicles acquired, the locations of the alternative fuel pumps available for those vehicles, and the total amount of alternative fuels used. Vehicles the state owns or leases that are capable of operating on alternative fuel must operate on that fuel unless the alternative fuel is not available. DGS is also required to: - Take steps to transfer vehicles between agencies and departments to ensure that the most fuel-efficient vehicles are used and to eliminate the least fuel-efficient vehicles from the state's motor vehicle fleet; - Submit annual progress reports to the California Department of Finance, related legislative committees, and the general public via the [DGS](https://www.dgs.ca.gov/) website; - Encourage other agencies to operate AFVs on the alternative fuel for which they are designed, to the extent feasible; - Encourage the development of commercial fueling infrastructure at or near state vehicle fueling or parking sites; - Work with other agencies to incentivize and promote state employee use of AFVs through preferential or reduced-cost parking, access to electric vehicle charging, or other means, to the extent feasible; and - Establish a more stringent fuel economy standard than the 2007 standard. Beginning January 1, 2024, DGS must develop criteria to evaluate commercial car rental service contracts based on the number of ZEVs or PHEVs available in the service's fleet.
